Step 8: Testing Your Installation

WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Pressing the Inverter button to turn OFF the Freedom Xi inverter function
on display panel does not disconnect DC or AC input power to the
Freedom Xi. If shore power is present at AC input terminals, it will pass
through to the AC output.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.
There are two tests to be performed. The first test verifies that the
Freedom Xi is inverting DC battery power and delivering AC power
to its output.
The second test is intended for installations where AC input and
output is hard wired to the Freedom Xi. This test verifies that the
Freedom Xi transfers from inverter power to shore power when
shore power is present.
Shore power (pass-through) refers to the AC input power
NOTE:
from a utility grid, generator or external AC source.
When you are ready to test your installation and operate the
Freedom Xi, close the DC fuse and Disconnect or the DC circuit
breaker to supply DC power to the Freedom Xi.

Testing in Invert Mode

To test the Freedom Xi in invert mode:
1. For hard wired installations, ensure shore power is not present.
2. Press the Inverter button to turn the inverter on.
The status LED on the display panel glows yellow and the LED
display illuminates.
3. Plug an appliance within the power rating of the inverter into
the Freedom Xi GFCI or an AC outlet hard wired to the
Freedom Xi.
4. Turn the appliance on to verify that it operates.
If the appliance operates, your installation is successful. If your
installation has AC input and output hard wired to the Freedom Xi,
proceed to "Testing in Shore Power Mode".
If the status LED on the display panel glows red, see the
Troubleshooting chapter.
